What?...........Perhaps you need to separate the issues. How are you going to know which party justifies your support even knowing English or Maori- We have a two party regime and a few minor parties which amount to window dressing or stocking fillers for those two parties
One does not need to speak either language to spot that this is not a Democracy and if they did speak fluent English they would soon find that neither the laws nor political representations are adhered to by this two party regime

Need more Evidence of our Criminal (two party) Regime?

"it makes one wonder if we could perhaps get the oxford dictionary changed so that Steward "A person employed to "manage" another's property" can be changed to become "A person employed to "OWN" another's property" we could then pretend that "Organised Crime" is not the kiwi way"

Most languages have a word for excrement and that is all they need to know they are voting for- a perfect example would be the "Bind" upon the Crown (want examples?).
Fitting into their new country and voting in the elections are two entirely different things- One is relevant to their every day lives and the other is a lottery to see who grabs the strings to the public purse and entertain us with insincere postulations in both English and Maori.
Honest folk that do not speak English are still more welcome than dishonest politicians and their associates that do-
